I was due to jump out of this plane on Sunday the 12th July in a tandem jump to raise funds for the peace hospice in Watford! High winds put paid to that and now i will be hoofing myself out the door on the 8th August. ~x(

Hope the jump goes well.
Still think anyone who jumps out of a serviceable aircraft needs to see a doctor....

All the best with the jump
